THE NATIONAL ART COMMITTEE 



ORGANIZATION 

In the Spring of iqiq it became evident to several 
lo\ ers of American art that if the United States was 
to have a pictorial record of the World War it would 
be necessary immediately to send artists to Europe 
for that purpose. 

The interest of a number of the distinguished 
leaders of America and of the Allied Nations was 
enlisted and their consent secured for the painting 
of the portraits by prominent American artists. 

With the endorsement of the Smithsonian Insti- 
tution as custodian of the National Gallery of Art, 
The American Federation of Arts, and the American 
Mission to Negotiate Peace then in session at Paris, 
the National Art Committee came into being for the 
purpose of carrying out this idea and thus initiating 
and establishing at Washington the National Portrait 
Gallery. 

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE 

Hon. Henry White, Chairman 
Herbert L. Pratt, Secretary and Treasurer 
Mrs. W. H. Grocker Arthur W. Meeker 

Robert W. de Forest J. Pierpont Morgan 

Abram Garfield Charles P. Taft

THE PRESENTATION PLAN 

That the gift of these paintings to the National 
Portrait Gallery might be thoroughly National in 
character, it was decided that a group of these por- 
traits, financed by the art patrons of any City, would 
be inscribed as presented to the National Portrait 
Gallery by that City and that a representative of 
that City should become an honorary member of the 
National Art Committee. It was further decided 
that a tablet or other permanent record in the Na- 
tional Portrait Gallery should bear the names of the 
members of the National Art Committee, including 
the chairmen of all local committees; and that there 
should be a record of the name of each subscriber to 
the purchase fund. 

The cities which, to date, have made reservations 
for presentations are : Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, 
New York and San Francisco.
